Same comment applies to all races/countries.

FROM ABOVE: "Imagining being stuck in traffic for an hour and then you have to stop at all zebra crossings." Sure, possible, however pedestrians must still have rights, and further there can't be any situation where because of bad traffic suddenly the laws re stopping at zebra crossings change/cease. That's not workable and wouldn't give solid / guaranteed protection. And who decides when the laws are changed/dropped and for how long etc?

Perhaps she should stop ripping off real estate buyers if she's earning this mch money from property deals.

Employ a personal maid just for laundry and give her/him some polite lessons about different fabrics, how to do it all slowly and with good care. She can afford 200,000 - 300,000Baht for such basic shirts she can afford a dedicated laundry maid.

"... are a law unto themselves." True. Also true they are both ruthless and dangerous.

Thammanat has already <deleted> off prayut big time.

Language requirements? Cooking?

But serious education on these laws needed to achieved first.

"Just because the fees have increased does not mean the public will suddenly pay attention...." Very true, totally true. And the current methods of 'informing' the public don't work, so there is no impact whatever. And until there is a totally different method of educating the public about laws / offences / punishment, nothing will change. The Zebra crossings 'situation' came up for discussion in my uni classes numerous times (all English programs), mostly raised by the European and Singaporeans students in the classes (all adults), who were shocked that cars, buses, motorcycles etc., don't stop. Pretty much every time when this subject came up a Thai student would say 'but why do vehicles need to stop?' With a further response by a few Thais 'because it's the law!' This would get a quick response by the majority of Thais 'No it's not the law, it cannot be the law!' Many times I would then prompt 1 or 2 European students to share the laws re this situation in a couple of Euopean countries, and sometimes a Singaporean. The Thais were shocked at how serious the laws are abroad, no flexibility and the severity of the punishments. In one discussion as per above one of the Thai students said 'why don't you just refuse to stop and take some action to push for cancellation of these laws?' This would prompt many of the Europena students to say 'I agree/I totally agree with these laws. People walking must have chance to cross the road without danger, it's their human right.' During one discussion one of the Thai female students called her uncle, a senior Thai cop, speaks perfect English and she asked her uncle to tell the class, on speakerphone, that there's no such laws in Thailand. Uncle responded (perfect English) 'Not Tue, Thai law is the same, the law says all venicles must stop when pedestrians are on the zebra crossing or it's obvious they are waiting to start to cross, and vehicles cannot move until the pedestrian(s) have reached the other side of the road'.

And nothing to do with the maid who releases the dishwashing water after doing the brekfast dishes.

And nothing to do with the folks who designed the building and it's car park? And nothing to do with the officials who approved the building of the project?

Good idea, if this exists in the US, similar to the Australian Public Trustee.

Good idea. I have to be honest (just my opinion of course) I don't trust lawyers anywhere and in many countries they charge fees which are outrageous, often way beyond the level of effort required.

Given the whole situation, perhaps the OP (with all respect) needs to rethink who / what process he trusts the most and with some thought about ongoing checking. Is there a family member in the US who could be trusted and prepared to do some quick occasional monitoring. In this scenario that person might be hesitant to get involved. Why? If it's discovered there's some 'leakage' of the funds then who does he/she turn to?

Can I humbly suggest you add some words to your above post to clarify 'where'. E.g. FRom above: "Talk to a lawyer and set up a trust....... do you mean in the US and what state or in Thailand? Perhaps in other areas of your post also add some 'where' etc., details... Good luck,

Oh no, not a leaky submarine, easy to fix of course, don't put it in the water.

Not so fast, have to form a commmittee first with a hefty meeting fee for everyboy who attends each committee meeting. Then ...

You need a hobby, like running to Antarctica.

And as mentioned the newspaper made a headline 'Charles told Prince Harry to not bring Meghan...', then later buried in their newspaper report they say they cannot verify if it's correct. Further, the newspaper concerned is less than credibe, makes big money out of 'salacious / fake / not verified / divisive / misreporting reporting etc. Nowadays I don't believe most things newspapers etc., print.

OK, but the newspaper concerned (not very credible) starts with a statement 'Charles told Prince Harry to not bring Meghan". Then buried further in the report they say that they coud not confirm the report. Just troubemaking...

I took a 1 2 go flight from Utapao to Bkk years back. Passengers on board, doors closed, aircraft starts taxing towards main runway, suddenly a/c stops. Passengers on the side of the a/c where passenger door is located (pasengers incl. me) can see: - pick up truck with stairs pulls up to the a/c door. - cabin crew open the door. - Thai lady scrambes in. - Then her 'helpers' slowly push a giant plastic bag of clothing through the a/c door. - Cabin crew ask the passsengers in the first 2 or 3 rows to move to the back of the aircraft. - Cabin crew eventually get the giant bag through the galley area and it eventually sits on thefloor and on the a/c seats to the left and the right. aisle way totally blocked. - A/c door closed, flight takes off. - Arrival in Bkk in, the area outside of the airbridges, cabin crew partly open the door. - Pick up truck marked with 1 2 go logo now parked just under a/c door. - Cabin crew and a/port staff and 1 2 go driver and helper eventually get the big bag to the a/c door then eventually get it through the door. Giant bag falls onto 1 2 go pick up truck. - 1 2 go pick up moves away a few meters, then normal mobile stairs put into place. - Lady who owns the bag insists on going down the stairs first and then runs to the 1 2 go pick up, gets in and it moves away very quickly. This company in it's day broke every safety rule in the book.

And how is it that swampy draingage can't cope?

Referral does happen in the gov't hospital; first visit to a hospital, Dr says we don't have a specialist for your condition and writes a referral to a hospital which does have the required specialist. In private hospitals same thing happens but most likely both doctors (non-specialist and specialist) are in the same hospital.

'''... properly run an administration ...''' Yep and the end result one of her senior ministers went to jail for 48 years. A good track record / example for proper administration.

And perhaps ignorant of the Thai laws about defamation...
